High Energy Physics Community Statement

> Strumia complains that he personally was not hired for a position that a woman was hired for, despite having a larger number of citations than her. He even compares his citation number to that of a (female) member of the search committee for this job. [... but] almost 1/3 of Strumia's citations come from being one of thousands of authors on the CMS Higgs discovery paper [... and] the statistically insignificant 750 GeV fluctuation at CERN, which disappeared with more data.

Yeah, saying your talk will be about "Bibliometrics data about gender issues in fundamental theory" and then spend parts of it attacking the hiring committee for lacking citation numbers is not really a proper way to behave.

It seems winning the contest for the Iron Throne @ 750 GeV[1] got to his head and he concocted a cunning plan to strike back as the woman who bested him unfairly.
